Hey wall! Do u know if the classroom for in-person classes record the lectures automatically?

I guess I was wondering if there’s a risk of having your convo in an empty classroom accidentally being recorded? E.g. If you find a random classroom to have convo with your therapist?

Recording is scheduled through CTE, and as far as my assistants can tell, it’s automatic. If there is a class scheduled in the room you’re meeting in, it could be automatically recording. To make sure you’re selecting a room without recording equipment, you can check a list linked here: https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/academics/sites/center-for-teaching-excellence/tech-tools.html#panopto (login required for list)

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
